Why The Hug Sweatshirt?

When our founder Marina couldn’t find a stylish weighted top she could wear to work or events, she teamed up with sustainable designer Olga Kapustina to create this unique and comforting new garment.

A Welcomed Gift

The Hugimals are always received with delight! A great gift 🎁 for any age.

Quinn is magnificent and great hugger

A dear friend of mine has a very stressful job. The job was really stressful and affected her attitude. I bought Quinn for her. Immediately her bubbly / happy self returned. Very grateful!

Made someone very happy

Huggable Hugimals

I love these Hugimals. They feel good in my arms—great stress reliever. Bought some for my youngest grandkids and they love them. Also bought some Tees.

A cuddly companion for someone who lost their love

I bought Sam the sloth and the shirt that says good days ahead. My brother-in-law lost his love and has been fighting depression ever since. Sam the sloth got delivered on the day that he was really struggling to keep it together. The real like hug he got from sam comforted him so much. I was so excited to hear his feedback that I bought Quinn, the koala for myself.

Love Hugimals

As always quality products with a lot of passion put into them!

Hugimals are superb

The animals are so cute and definitely are soothing. The tees are well made and add an additional essence of cuteness.

My grand daughter loved it

Nice affirmation

Good quality and a great encouragement

How do our weighted products work?

Similar to a big, comforting hug, the weighted pressure (aka Deep Touch Pressure) in our products brings on a relaxation response from your parasympathetic nervous system — and tamps down a fight-or-flight response from your sympathetic nervous system. When one of our weighted self-care products is placed on your lap, chest, or tummy, your body begins to lower production of the stress hormone cortisol and increases production of the “calming” neurotransmitters, including oxytocin, serotonin and dopamine, helping you feel comforted, relaxed, grounded, and secure.

Deep Touch Pressure has also been shown to help with sleep, as well as focus & concentration, making our products excellent bedtime companions and study/work buddies!

Enjoy the calming hugs!

FOCUS AND CONCENTRATION: Weighted pressure can help with focus, making Hugimals great study or work buddies when placed on a lap (like a weighted lap pad but way more adorable!).

EMOTIONAL SUPPORT TOOL: Hugimals’ neutral expressions are specifically designed to allow you to feel any emotion in a judgment-free zone (no forced smiles here.)

SENSORY BENEFITS: Hugimals’ extra-soft fabric provides a soothing tactile sensory experience, and their calming colors are inspired by the natural colors of river stones.

SELF-CARE FOR ALL: Unanimously positive reviews from our children's hospital pilot program show that Hugimals are "a fantastic source of both comfort and sensory support" for children. Our Gen Z and Millennial fans use Hugimals for self-care, stress relief and to help with sleep. They make great gifts!

This is an information diagram showing how to remove a Hugimal's weighted insert and wash the outer plush.

REMOVABLE WEIGHT: Your Hugimal is weighted with the same non-toxic glass beading used in many weighted blankets, sewn into secure sections within a removable weighted inner body for added safety.

WASHABLE! (AND WE DON’T MEAN SPOT-CLEAN ONLY): The weighted inner body is fully removable, allowing for easy washing of outer plush. We recommend washing the outer plush in a cold, gentle cycle. Best to wash in a laundry bag. Then hang dry.

BLISSFUL, FULL-BODY HUGS: With their weight distributed throughout their head, body and limbs, you feel the soothing sensation of your Hugimal “hugging” you back.
